@simracer4822 күн бұрын
So what happened to me is I was running the bottom line on the front straightaway and the guy went under the white line to try to pass me. Well I was holding my line on the bottom as I had a car on my right side and the guy just took me out going into the turn rather than lifting and merging back into the track. That same guy happened to win the race.😒

Without seeing the 34's in-car view, it's hard to say if his move was accidental or deliberate. What is a little telling was that he was on the mic the moment _he_ got (accidentally) wrecked, but not a single word after he ruined everybody elses' race...
@simracer4823 күн бұрын
I don't know if he was deliberately trying to wreck the leaders but he did come up on the track in the turn going like 10 mph. Before that he was in the grass and all over the place so not sure what he was doing. Hopefully alot of people reported him after the race for that.

@@simracer48 Welp, we ran this combo again last night, and he joined the server again. Straight away, tried to run me off the track on his very first lap out of the pits, and then very deliberately drove straight into Dave when Dave tried to allow him to pass. So, yeah, based on that performance, I think we can safely assume this example was also 100% malicious. The guy really is _that_ stupid.

Pro-tip for the viewers: don't PM accusations at people, because that's a clear indicator that you just wrecked someone on purpose and you're trying to hide your true intent from the rest of the server. Attempting to gaslight an admin won't work - in fact it will have the opposite effect and is only going to ensure that the admins examine the replay even more closely, whereupon you can still be added to the blacklist, even if you thought disconnecting before anyone could see what you really did will keep you safe - it doesn't.
